...for all your good work. I kinda miss the familliarty I had with the old board though. Like I had just finally figured out where everything was and how to work it, well, except for the multiple quotes in one post, never did quite get that... :( :lol:
I have been one of the people clamoring for some way to eliminate the spam. I appreciate your efforts, Eudora, GregFL and Tech Jockey. Thankyou for doin'what needed done.
I'm sure I'll adjust, one way or another, to this new format over time.
Keep up the good work!!!
-
Seconded!! Thanks guys.
-
And to you also. You guys really make this thing work, ya know. I'm hearing from all kinds of people about all kinds of good things that have come to them from hanging out here. It's nice to hear, as we always hear about the trouble and strife.
:nworthy:

There's something else going on...
Aardvark in England can't view or post and the Guardster proxy also won't work for viewing or posting.

Somebody call the police.

I think they've already been calllled...

Guardster should work now. In order to fix any access problems for individual users, they'll have to PM me with a copy of the specific error, and the exact time it occurred.

Tech, I have to comment again about the lack of forum organization. I mean come on, The Seed, a long-dead program is at the top while WWASPS, an active and deadly one, is far down the list. I'm usually the last person to suggest this, but can we get some hierarchy here?
Also, we should have a heavily moderated "Emergency Services" forum for people who are in immediate danger of being sent away or who have just had it happen to them and have people trying to get their parents to see the light.

Yeah, I liked the way the most recently posted to forums would rise to the top of the list before. Most of the front end kinda stuff like that is really Ginger's thing. She's been a little busy lately, but she should be back around before long.
And the "Emergency Services" forum sounds like a good idea. Again, Ginger should probably address that. My thing is mostly in dealing with the guts of the system, squashing bugs, etc. Besides, it's still her site.

I can't tell you all how much I agree with the first piece! All "hierarchy" aside, it makes the forum much easier to keep track of (for those that are into doing this) when new posts bump their corresponding forum to the top. That way you can see at a glance if anything's hit the board...
I also like the Emergency forum idea..

Ok, leme dig in and see if I can find the query in the code.

This is the shit. What a great idea! I don't know how it would pan out, but it might do some good...excellent noodle dancin...Milk Gargling Death Penalty, that's what the pre-school kids do in order to get their noodles workin...They do the "noodle dance".
Eudora, what are your thoughts on this ??

It makes me a little bit nervous, frankly. Think about all of the fucked up stories we've all been tossing around here lately. They're all complicated and, in all but a few cases of just plain out stupid negligence, they're all driven by and rife w/ high passion and even more heightened insanity on all sides. If you're going to get involved personally in something like that, you'd better be in for a pound, man! No drive by suggestions or half baked ideas.
We do get notice, more frequently here lately, when someone's about to get shipped or recently has been. And people do sometimes jump in in a very big way.
Remember the FreeAlex thread?

There was a kid sent off to Abundant Life Academy, too, who's aunt hooked up w/ the right intel to get her out. And a couple of kids found a wealthy benefactor to put them on a plane out of Nephi, Utah to get away from the Sudweeks and Whitmore Academy not too long ago.
It's happening ad hoc and I just have a very, very strong aversion to too much organization. Or, as Crazy Mac would say, if it ain't broke doooooon't fix it!
But if you're so moved, by all means let's do it. I can do the miniscuel chore of setting up the forum. While I'm at it, I'll blow out the Cassandra project. Nobody ever did take that up in any serious way anyway. I can just reassign those few posts to another forum or something.
